Julie Andrews is so well known across the world by generations of film fans for her roles in films such as The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins.

Richard Glover was thrilled at the opportunity to talk to Andrews whilst she is in Sydney.

Andrews is here for an evening at the State Theatre on Friday May 24th where Nicholas Hammond, who played Friedrich von Trapp in the Sound of Music, will interview her on stage.

In this interview with Glover, Andrews talks about the early days of her career, her favourite moments from The Sound of Music, her family growing up, how she learned to sing, and the feeling of performing live on stage with an orchestra.
